Mini pony has a bad hair day

Chester looks like he’s had a rough night – or has he been running with the wild things?    Why do horses’ manes suddenly get tangled?   Superstition has it that they’ve been taken for midnight rides by witches though it would have to be a little one to fit on our thirty four inch stallion pony.       Come on Chester, aren’t you a bit too old for Tam O’Shanter stuff!    More probably there’s a thistle or burr in the middle of the knots.   Around Halloween though when the manes get plaited and tangled and it isn’t the sticky burrs……. what do we blame then?
